December Share the Plate: Guest at Your Table Program with UUSC

Our December Share the Plate partner is the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC) through its Guest at Your Table program. Since it began in 1975, the Guest at Your Table program has introduced generations of Unitarian Universalists to our grassroots partners working for justice around the world with your support. This church year, we are celebrating Guest at Your Table’s 50th anniversary with the theme “Expanding the Welcome Table.” 

As we transition into our 50th year and five decades of partner-centered advocacy and activism, you will meet:

  • Young climate activists in the Marshall Islands helping their communities heal from the destructive legacy of nuclear testing by the United States while envisioning a sustainable future for their people;

  • LGBTQ+ leaders in Ukraine offering resources and companionship to the queer community impacted by Russia’s full-scale invasion;

  • Haitian academics researching racism’s impacts on the experiences of migrants of color in the United States; and

  • Trans organizers are forming networks of safety and welcome for trans and gender-expansive people forced to flee unsafe communities and states. 

Learn more about this year’s Guests by reading the Stories of Hope booklets that will be distributed in the sanctuary. Please give generously to Guest at Your Table this year, as we mark GNUUC’s 30th year of participation in this program supporting the transformational social justice work of the UUSC and its partners.

If you know or discover such an organization, please nominate it by using the form found with the Share the Plate Nomination form..
